I don't know how long it took, but maybe little Peter had the impression that spring had just passed, and the hot summer had arrived. One day, little Peter had a daily conversation with his grandfather in the study as always.

"Grandpa, you said that you are going to start class today, so what are we going to study?"

"Well, you should start enlightenment education, today grandpa found you a teacher, he used to be the best in the empire, you can educate you, you can steal the fun. ”

"Don't, I want grandpa to teach you. Little Peter shook the old man's arm vigorously and sold cute.

"Wow, how are you so smart, how do you know it's me. The old man's eyes widened.

"Ah, grandfather, how can you be like this, the Lord asks us to be humble. Little Peter was dumbfounded, and said disgruntled at the old man.

But the Lord also asks us to be honest. The old man smiled and touched little Peter's head and said slowly.

Little Peter pouted and said reluctantly, "Okay then, then what shall we learn?" ”

"What to learn, I think. The old man put down the "History of the Holy See" in his hand and said after a while: "Let's talk about the history of the mainland first, and then read and read, well, that's it." The old man nodded affirmatively.

"The continent we are on now is called the Divine Continent, and as the name suggests, it is a name given to commemorate the miracles and kindness of the Lord. I don't know how big the Shenwei Continent is, and the places I've been to in my life are probably just the tip of the iceberg. The old man sighed.

"Wow, how big is the tip of the iceberg?" asked Little Peter stupidly.

"Uh, uh, this, this is that big. The old man gestured a circle with his hand, which looked a little bigger than an apple.

"Oh, it turned out to be bigger than an orange. ”

"Mm-hmm, it's bigger than an orange. The old man breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "The Shenwei Continent is vast and has a large population, but it is divided into many secular countries. In the past, the number one force in the mainland was the Holy See, but now, forget it, let's not talk about him. The old man didn't know what he thought of, sighed and continued: "There are many, many countries on the continent, and the Holy See is called the Holy Empire. The Holy Empire, more than 400 years ago, was founded by the first generation of the Pope, when the Pope was the supreme leader of the country outside the Lord, the entire empire regarded himself as a servant of the Lord, pious, sincere, observant, etc., the Holy See inherited for more than 300 years, and then slowly separated from church and state, and the Holy See gradually declined, and now, the Holy Emperor is much more powerful than the Pope. The old man said nostalgically.

"Uh, uh, this, this emperor is not a good person. Little Peter puffed.

"In addition to the Holy Empire, there is also an empire on the continent called the Krent Empire. The Krent Empire was founded more than 280 years after the Divine Calendar. Unlike the Holy Empire, the Krent Empire has always been a secular state, although it also believed in the Lord and was a believer in the Lord. The Krent Empire was once hostile to the Holy Empire, waging many wars. ”

"Hey, aren't they all believing in the Lord, and how can the Lord's people still fight each other?"

"You don't understand. The old man said a word.

"Later, as the power of the Holy See declined, there were fewer contradictions between the two countries, and the two sides reached a reconciliation. ”

"What are allies?"

That is, it is more beneficial than friends and worse than friends, and the intimacy is not as good as that of friends. ”

"Oh, that fat uncle next door is my close ally. Little Peter thought for a moment and nodded vigorously.

"Haha, that's your elder, you can't joke around. The old man continued: "In addition to the two great empires, there are also several kingdoms, which you will know later. ”

"Oh, why don't you talk about it?"

"That's it for today, I'm tired, I want to rest. ”

When the old man began to educate Little Peter, he was surprised to find that Little Peter was very smart and clever, and he could immediately remember what he had said once. The speed of reading books is also very fast, and it can be called ten lines at a glance.

"Today, we will talk about the Holy See. ”

"The Holy See is the body that assists the Pope in all affairs. The Pope presents himself as the closest servant to the Lord. There are a few institutions under the jurisdiction of the Holy See, you are still young, you just need to know the monasteries, the knights, and the Inquisition. The Precepts, the Executive Yuan, and the College of Cardinals are too far away from you. ”

"I know, I know, the knights are the knights who shouted glory last time, and the monastery is the monk who gave me the badge, right, so what is the Inquisition?"

"Inquisition, of course you don't know that you're not a heretic. The old man squinted and smiled.

"Well, well, what is heresy?" said little Peter, shaking the old man's arm coquettishly.

"Those who do not believe in the Lord and discredit the Lord. The old man thought uncertainly.

"Then I am certainly not a heretic, I am a believer in the Lord and a servant of the Lord. Little Peter hurriedly spread his hand and drew a decent cross on his chest.

"A monk is a person who practices in a monastery, and a woman is a nun. The monastery is a direct institution of the Holy See, and there are many more famous ones, the most famous is the Cromwell Abbey, which is of great significance in the history of the Holy See. The old man continued.

"And what about the monastery where I have a badge in my hand?"

"Oh, that's in the province of Ireland in the Holy Empire, it's okay. It's fine for some people, but for you. The old man looked at little Peter with a complicated expression and continued: "As far as you are concerned, the best is already available, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”

"Well, which is the best for me?" said little Peter.

"You'll know when you grow up. ”

"Again, I've grown up!"

"You didn't know that when you grew up?"

"That's what you don't teach!"

"That's what you don't understand. ”

"Come, write a master, I'll see. ”

"Well, the words are right, but it's too ugly and unqualified, keep trying. ”

"Grandpa, how can the painting style of this city be different from the previous ones. Little Peter pointed to the city in front of him and said affirmatively.

"Stupid, this is obviously a village, how can it be a city. The old man was speechless.

One day, little Peter asked, "Grandpa, why do you think this church is so small, it is different from the previous ones?" ”

One day, little Peter asked, "Well, old man, why are you kneeling before that priest?" ”

"Didn't you say you wouldn't let you see it, how could you peek!" the old man was very surprised.

"I'm curious. Little Peter chuckled and muttered.

"I call it repentance, confession to the Lord, seeking the Lord's forgiveness. The old man pouted helplessly.

"When you kneel and confess, will the Lord forgive you?"

"Of course, the Lord will forgive me. The old man's eyes were blank and he said, "The Lord will forgive me." ”

In the Cathedral Square, the snow makes the ceremony look even more holy and elegant.

On the carriage home, little Peter asked, "Old man, why do the priests wear different clothes? ”

"Well, the rank and position are high. The old man pouted.

"So black high or purple high?" Little Peter glared at the old man with big cute eyes.

"Uh, uh, I think it should be purple high. The old man thought for a long time and nodded vigorously: "Well, it must be purple high, but the red one is higher." ”

"Oh, it's the red highest. When the little boy heard this, he turned his head to look outside, not knowing what was in his mind.

This winter, it looks no different from usual, except that little Peter cried one day and asked the old man: "Why do my little friends have parents, but I don't." The old man looked at him with a painful heartache and said: "Who said you don't have parents, you also have parents, but you are still too young and you don't know when you see your parents, but you will know when you grow up." ”

"Wow, wow, I want to grow up quickly!" little Peter cried.

The old man was reluctant to say, "Soon, soon, I will grow up soon." When you grow up, you can't cry anymore. ”
